LURA S. MAJOR; OF CHICAGO, ILLINOIS, ASSIGNOR TO MARSHALL FIELD & COMPANY,

A. CORPORATION OF ILLINOIS..

To all whom it may concern: Be it known that I, LURA S. MAJOR, a citizen of the United States, residing at c1ty of Chicago, county of Cook, and-State of automobile rider or to be worn under ordinary circumstances.

Another object of my invention is to provide an article of head wear with a flap which may be fastened around the head and neck of the wearer or may be' folded up when not desired to use it in that way.-

Still another object of my invention is to provide an article of head wear with a flap that may be folded up against the same, or when desired folded down to protect the head and neck of the wearer, being provided with means to make edge folds to gather it in about the neck.

These and various other objects will be made apparent in the following specification and claims, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, in which I have illustrated one embodiment of my invention.

Referring to these drawingsFigure 1 is a perspective view of a turban embodying my invention with the flap folded up against the same. Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the same with the flap folded down. Fig. 3 is a perspective view with the flap folded down and its lower edge gathered and fastened'on the head of a wearer. Fig.4 is a horizontal section through the lower edge of the flap when gathered and fastened.

The main. part oftbe hator turban is designated 15 in the drawings. A flap 16 is attached along the lower edge at the sides. and back. When so desired this flap may be turned up as shown in Fig. 1. For this purpose the studs 18 are mounted on the hat and may be engaged by the sockets 19 on the fiap, these parts serving to hold the flap upright. (When thefla'p is turned down its edges 17 are spaced apart at the sides of the face of. the wearer. The lower corners Specification of Letters Patent.

adjacent to these edges 17 are respectively equipped with the stud 20 and socket 21, which engage one another under the chin of the wearer. In addition, the lower edge of the flap 16 when turned down is equipped with studs 22 and opposed sockets 23, which may be brought into engagement with one another so as to form folds on'the lower edge, such' as designated 24 in Fig. 4. This serves to gather or shorten the lower edge of the flap 15 making it fit closely around the neck of the wearer.

It will be seen that I have provided an article of head wear which may be fastened closely around the back of the head and the dustand from disarrangement by the wind. It will also be seen that when it is desired to-change this piece of head wear so as to have agmore conventional appearance this neck of the wearer protecting her hair from can readily be accomplished by turning the flap up as shown'in Fig. 1 and fastening it up by means of the studs 18 and sockets 19. -Thus for example, a person in a touring car could wear the flap down as shown in Fig. 3 when riding, and then when going into a hotel for dinner the flap could he turned up as shown in Fig. 1.

I claim:

1. An article of head wear comprising a turban, a single flap attached along a major portion of the lower edge thereof, and a. socket and coacting' stud attached to the lower edge of the flap when the flap'is turned down so as to form a fold in the lower edge of the flap when they are brought into engagement with one another.

An article of head wear comprising a turban, a single flap attached along a major portion of; the lower edge thereof, a socket and coacting stud attached to the lower edge of the flap when the flap isturned down so as to form a fold in the lower edge of the flap when they are brought into engagement flap in an upright position around the turban, a pair of interlocking elements in the flap to fasten it under the chinjof the wearer whent'urned down, and another pair of .in-

5 terlockin'g'elements located on thelowe'r edge of the flapwhen it is turned downand adapted to be brought into enga ement with one another so as to form a o d in said lower edge of the flap and thereby gather it oloselysaround the neck of the wearer. -0
